LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 30, 1826. We have this moment learnt that very serious appre hensions are entertained of the Marquis of HASTINGS having fallen a victim to a disease incident to the cli mate of Malta. The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Etoile dated Tuesday moiniig, reached us last night ; and extracts from them will be found in another colutnn. A 'vesSel'which arrived at Trieste on the 15th inst, confirms the accounts of the gloomy state 'Of affairs in. Egypt. Want of money was the cause of the delay, of the last expedition against the Mores. The news of the death of GOURAS, is said to ,he confirmed by letters of the 6th from Zante, but we rejoice to find that no treasonable conduct had tarnithed his charac ter, and led to his execution, as before stated ; but that 11 !‘ died nobly in a second successful sally from the e nadil, against the.enemies of Greece. The Ltoile gives extracts from four .of its cotem- T ortries respecting the state of Portugal, which will e found under Our extracts, to enable our readers to Judge of the real situation of affairs in that country, and on the frontiers of Spain. •If the Spanish Go 'ernMerit were sincere in its ostensible directions re latiVe to th e i ns u rge nts who have deserted into Spain, there could not be such movements as are described Oil the part of these self-called Royalists. Private car respondence of the 11th from Lisbon, published by the c onstitutionne/, mentions an expectation that English troops would 'shortly arrive and remain until the Go vernment had organised a national force. The French Funds are rather lower than the last qUotation. rA 11, I 9, Sive EIDHANOY, MONDAY Eviattwo, Nov. 2'7. rlte per Cents., 991. 95c. 100 f. 99f. 9bc. 100 f. ; Three per 1; 44 ., 721. 15c. 10c. sc. 15c. 10e. 72f. ; Bank Actions 2067 f.

By the General Palmer we received yesterday Ma dras Papers to the 80th July, and letters from Calcutta 1 0 the 14th of that month. The latter give very un loourable intelligence of the indigo crop, the failure of w hich has been to a greater extent than had been anti cipated. The exports' for the season to this country ate in cons equence e stimated at 12,000 chests less t ` l44 those of last year. The Exchange at Calcutta Was 2s. to 2s. id. .„„,. --- --, • 11(1 we also l earn by thi s opportun ity th a t the sect , instalment from the Burmese had been received, but that som e delay in the payment ,of the remaining in stalment is apprehended, and the . .evacuation of Ran goon coneequeittly delayed. "It would appear," says the Calcutta John Butt of the Bth July, 14 that Ran goon will not be evi i ,,,,, te , u 6y our troops so soon as ,• was once e*pected ; but at whet time they will be with drawn we have not heard." The Vela e, Captain the non. R: S. DUNDAS, : arrived at Madras from England, on . the 22d July. - The Irarspite, bearing the flac of Rear-Admiral GAGE, the new Commander-in- Net; had arrived at Frincornallee, where the Pelage parted from her. We give in another column extracts from the p apers 'which h ave reac h e d us, amongst whi c h i s a rep ort o f hiii Majesty's ship Barracouta having been wrec k ed oil Madagascar, which report, however, has no found .' ittieti,' that ship having arrived in our ports some laonths ago. . _ , The Countess of Chichester packet has arrived at °mouth with a Jamaica Mail. She sailed from Ja- Naica, on the 17th Oct., but in consequence of the de lith, on the passage, of some of the crew, from yellow fever, she is placed under quarantine. The ?Tail will be fumigated, and will probably arrive in ''` )ll don by to-tnorrow's-poit. CL• Tht M arquis of B as ti ng* , G, Martin, late W. O s tl er , f rom 1 , 4 'bs. Batavia, and Mosel hay, arrived at the Cape of Good on the 16th Sept. from which place we give the following she has since arrived iu the Downs -.-Mr. Martin, 2d in command, the chief officer Mr..ltow, having been sus. • 1>e141(4 from duty on the fifth for. reported drunken ;,td te m p orary derangement. O n the Bth of September, o'clock, the ship was discovered . to be on fire in the to the 0111 , it wits soon extinguished, when Mr. Martin observed the t caPtaio, that it was a ver y s trang e c i rcumsta n ce, ca captain, said, " it wee, the fire lutist hate Wu put into the scuttle by some person maliciously inclined." The captain then struck his forehead and retired to the after cabin ; he afterwards went out and walked the main-deck about two minutes, and then retired 'to his state-room. On the following morning, the cabin boy, at 8 A. 1., went in and found the captain was absent. Mr. Martin then went to his (the cap tain's) cabin, and found a paper as follows :—" A bad crew, and bad first officer, is the destruction of William Ostler." She'has put into the port by desire of the crew, and for refreshment. The foremast spring stays were found burnt by vitriol, and supposed by the captain, as a leathern bug, which he got - made on shore, was found iu the store-room, with rosin, and completely burnt. It is supposed that Captain Ostler, in a fit of derangement, had thrown himself out of the cabin window and was drowned soon after he had retired to his cabin. The Master of the Cornwallis, arrived at St. Helena, reports, that the brig Mariner, •from London to this port (Cape of Good Hope), had foundered off the Cape, and the crew picked up by a ship bound to Calcutta. We received this afternoon, by Express, the Etoile dated yesterday, but its contents are not of political importance. The following are a few extracts : (From the Etoik, dated yesterday.) LIES OF THE DAY.—The Drapeau Blanc mentions the ar 'rival at Paris of Count La Frronays, Ambassador frum France to the Court of St. Petersburg li. The Journal des Debuts announces the preparation for a large armament at the port of Brest. It consists of twenty-seven ships of war, which are intended to put to sea, in order to protect French commerce at all places where it may be considered re quisite. The naval intelligence, arrived by way of Trieste, relates that an expedition was to leave Alexandria on the Sth of November. It consisted of a hundred sail, and was supposed to carry, not troops, but merely ammunition, provisions, and 'large sums of money. By intelligence received from the frontiers of Russia, it appears that Prince Hesse Homberg will remain some time longer at St. Petersburg, at least until the arrival of Count Lutzow, who has been nominated Ambassador by Austria. Meanwhile the stay of this Prince is not to be considered as a diplomatic, but merely a friend ly visit, inasmuch as he is allied to the Royal Family by his sister's marriage with Prince William of Prussia, uncle to the Empress Alexandra. A 64-gun frigate, built at the expence of the Pacha of Egypt, is about to be launched at Livornia. Two other ships of war, built also at the expence of the Pacha, are in the sane port, nearly ready for sea. The son of Murat has been wounded in a duel with one Col. Macromb, in the United. States. One of the bravest of the heroes of Alissolonglii, nephew to Geu. Karaiskaki, has reached Geneva, where he intends to pass some time, in consequence of ill health. He is furnished with letters of recommendation from Karaiskaki, Colocotroni, and Misulis ; of the last he has an excellent portrait, taken previous to his late serious illness, occasioned by his inability to save Mis solonghi. This young warrior, whose name is Mestanopoulo, has not only public, but also private wrongs to deplore ; for, at the very moment when the exhausted garrison of Missolonghi attempted to cut a passage through their enemy, he saw his three brothers murdered before his face, one of whom actually expired in his arms. His sisters and mother were taken prisoners, and publicly sold in the slave market at Alexandria. FRENCU FUNDS, Nov. 28.—Five per Cents. 99f. 80e. ; Three per Cents. 71f. bOc. In the House of Peers last night an interesting conversation on the Corn Laws took place. It origi nated in some observations made by Lord KING on pre senting a Petition, which called forth a declaration from Lord LtyinPool, that he would not be drawn into a premature disclosure of what was the intention of his MAJESTY'S Ministers 'on this subject; but that they had come to a decision on the subject, and that imme diately after the recess he would put the House fully in possession tithe vie*s of Government, which would allow ample time for the discussion of them, as the measures intended must originate in the House of Commons. His LORDSHIP concluded by saying, that the question should.ba brought forward as early as possible, and be decided RH soon as was .consistent with giving it a full and due consideration. The course proposed to, be followed by his MAJESTY'S Ministers met with the general concurrence of the Peers, and a wish was expressed that the measures to be pro posed might be of such a nature as to lead to a per manent settlement of this question, so essentially im portant to all the great interests of the country. The time of the House of Commons was occupied, longer than the subject deserved, by Mr. HUME, in presenting a petition from the Mr. TAYLOR to whom we have often alluded, professing himself a Deist, and praying that the law may' be so altered as to allow persons of such principles to be sworn on Works of Nature, instead of on die Old or New Testament. The return of Dr. LusurmTox and Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM for the Borough of Tregony was con firmed, by the decision of the House, that the re turn was not a double return, and that the indenture of Mr. MACK ILLOP and Mr. GORDON not being an nexed to the precept, must of necessity be struck off the file. By this decision it is now clearly settled :- Ist. That no indenture, which is not annexed to the precept of the Sheriff, can be'recognised by the House —2dly. That, to constitute a double return, both in dentures must be an►iexed to the precept-3(11y. That the Sheriff in every case must choose, on his own responsibility, between making a double apd a single return, and that be , is not entitled to transfer the onus of that responsibility to any other. In another part of our Paper will be found some very sensible observations on the absiird Law of Bas tardy. Our intelligent Correspondent agrees with us in the main features of our dislike to the law, but he thinks that because the law existed from the time of ELIZABETH; without having produced any established case . of injustice or oppression, it is therefore as good and as perfect a law as could be employed. Now, though we are no advocates for abusing things, be cause they are ancient, yet we 'cannot, venerate ab surdity because of its antiquity. That no established case of abuse has occurred in the practice of this injurious law is no proof that many bitter wrongs have not been visited on innocent parties frOM 'the time of ELIZA BETH, for the very nature of the thing is enough to ensure - secrery from motives ' of delicacy, as men isbvietirlyis case the know that where there is no hope of a successful appeal, it is better to hush the matter and so put up with their misfortune. . But is a law pregnant with op preasiOn the less to be deprecatedrmerely because no actual case has yet arisen to illustrate its evil tendency? l law dooming a culprit to death is not entitled to the praise of humanity, merely because . a victim has not yet i previous moral haracter to ' certify on nourred • its vengeanc . we do not quar rel with the father of ' h e er la o w it ° ' of with women bastardy for allowing a woman of different on oath who is the they be:t i a l and swear th own ° make a trade of their . shame, think e fruits of th .* iniquity to those whom able r i :o g' s ü b p u p t o them. rtthe case eir latitude allow d by e the law is •njurious,, because the • oath of the woma n little chance unless he l ')eing . conclusive, a man has prove an alibi of some dis tance. The , observations caa of Our Correspondent , as to the pripriety of c o of n. paling a woman to give the name of the father the child before it is born, are in' perfect 'accor I • ' t akce with oar own, and we 'also agree with him that the vestry . H ave • no right to call upon the patties to • d . 1 in emu 'y the parish before the child becomes chargeable. That practice is certainly taking time by the forelock, and looks something like one man Raking another for a sum of money in hand, because he may one day become in his debt. The parish has no right to make the probability a cer tainty. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof,--but " the li ttle Kings of the Parish" are omnipotent in their own jurisdiction, and for want of good cause for their in dividual interference, will share the odium of oppression among them. One great evil resulting from the ha pertinent interference of the parish is, that many children are born bastards who might otherwise be legitimate by the private marriage of the parties, but the inter ference of the parish fixes the shame of the unfortunate girl, and no reparation of the man can afterwards esta blish her character. Another and a greater evil re sulting from this odious inquisition is, the frequent suicides which take place by young women, whose sensibility cannot bear the shock of a parish exami nation before a Magistrate, for though they have fallen victims to misplaced affection, or the arts of the designing, yet they are not all lost to shame; and many a virtuous girl, urged to extremity by the dread of publicity, has hurried to destruction, rather than survive the horrors of such an ordeal. A man may bear the partial loss of character, as a tree sheds its leaves in the wind, but to a woman, the loss of her reputation is destiny—the tree torn up by the blast. THE FUNDS.

Ws have again had an uncommonly dull market to-day, and the inquiry for goods not so eitensive; nor have we had much business doing. In Water Twist sonic sales have been effected at last week's quotation.; to-day the buyers have been attempting. to purchase at lower prices, and in some few instances they have succeeded. The reduction, . however, is not general, but partial. The demand for power-loom cloth is become very limited, and the holders find some difficulty in making sales. Velveteens, for exportation,, are very heavy, and the stocks are upon the increase. At this season of the year the country trade is generally very bad, the buyers not liking to hold great stocks. In Cotton little or nothing is doing, the holders waiting the issue of the public sale at Liverpool, on Tuesday next, of 1,600 Sea lalamia• POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 'BOW-STREET.--(Tits Day.) A young man of genteel appearance, named Gilbert Hume Jones, was brought up in she custody of Miles and Priest, two of the Bow-street patrol, on a charge of stealing this morning, from the shop of Mr. Correll, hosier, Iti4, Strand, three kid gloves. He wanton pretenceof purchasing, and the shopman, on missing the gloves, accused him of the theft. He drew them from his pocket, and saying he had put them there by mistake, offered to pay for them. lie was, however, given into custody, and shortly after he was gone, a piece of silk, containing four handkerchiefs, was found near the spot where he bad been standing ; the handker chiefs were of a large pattern of yellow and red colours, and sup posed to have been stolen from some other shop. When taken he had a silver watch, and 20a. Gd. in his pockect. The prisoner stated in explanation, that he bad put them into his pocket, intending to purchase them, and on offering to pay for them, the lad accused him of the theft. li e denied all know ledge of the silk. - I Mr. Halms remanded him for a week, to discover, if possible, the owners of the silk. HATTON-GABDEN.—(Tuts DAY.) A deaf and duwb lad, named Watts, w ag charged with the fol lowing atrocious attempt to injure a valuable h orse , b e l ong i n g to a person named Wall, a stable keeper, in Black Horse -court, Gray's Inn-lan e . From the evidence it appeared, that the prisoner entertains a most 'vicious propensity to injure every kind of animal that comes within his reach, forcing hot iron down dog's throats, sprinkling aqua-fortis over fowls, pouring scalding w ater over ea u, Ste. About eight o ' c lock this morning, (his fathe r ' s prem i ses a dj o i n i ng those of Mr. Wall) he was seen to go into th e S ta bl e , and was shortly afte r f o ll owe d by Mr. Wail, who to hie horror and asto nishment,: caught him in the set of forcing a pie ce o f window lath, three feet long, into the bowels of a liorie. The boy imme diately ran out, but was pursued, and taken into custody. The horse sank to the ground, in a state of exhaustion, and is 'not expected to recover. This is also the third occasion on which valuable horses have fallen victims to the diabolical practices of this young mon.ter. The prisoner, who had been educated in the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, in writing denied the' charge, declaring he had never been in the stable at all, but Mr. Regers recollecting him to hairs been before him for a similar offence, ordered him to be remanded until Friday, when the state of the horse might be ascertained, declaring that should the account be unfavourable, he Should inflict the full penalty of three mouths' imprisonment. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(Tiffs DAY.) SITTINGS AFTER TRINITY TERM. Air. Justice LITTLEDAI.E . sat on the Bench, (the Lord Chief Jusfice not being as yet sufficiently recovered to, attend) and dis posit' of several causes, none of which was attended with any pub lic interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER—(Tuts DAY.) (IN NISI PRIUS.) THF. KING V. TUCKER. This was an information,at the suit of the ArroattEv-Gr NY a At. for;receiving spirits without a permit, at several different times. The penalty for that offence was 5001.. The defendant, a licensed victualler at the Crown and Sceptre, North-street, Exeter, did not defend the cause; it was therefore only necessary to prove the offence, and the Jury of course returned a verdict for the Crown, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL only pressed for the penalty of the first offence, which is 50/. The offence was proved by Thomas Bishop, the man who sold him the smuggled spirits. ATTORNEY-411tNERA I. V. THOMAS COTTERELL. Mr. CLARKE stated to the Jury that they would have no trouble in this case, because the defendant submitted to a verdict for the Crown.—Verdict for the Crown. ATTORNEY-GENERAL Y. CLEMENT CONEY. Mr. Mystauouse appeared for the defendant, and submitted to a verdict for the Crown on the 2d, 4th, and 7th cpunts.—Verdict for the Crown accordingly. ADULTERATED WINES. ATTOKNEy-GENERAL V. OLIMIELD. Mr. .WALTON stated that the information had been filed against Frederick Oldfield, of No. 58, Pall Mall, in which he was char ged with having used the Excise Permit fin. other purposes than tee remove the wine it had been granted for ; alao that be had used it in such a way, that his stock of Cape wine could not be ewer tained ; that this had been done at different times ; that being a dealer in wines, he had mixed thew, contrary to the statute ; and that he had not made the proper entries. _ _ . . Mr. Avroaxst•-GxNEaat. stated that this was a ease which he had thought it his duty to bring into the Court, for the purpose of public example, and he hoped, if it were made out, the Jury would mark it with the heaviest verdict. In the Exchequer, parties were brought to prevent the King's subjects from being poisoned by having sold to them different sorts of leaves mixed in tea, and dirt for pepper ; so was it for them to be puundied for the adulte ration of wines. This was such a ease, and only the second that had ever occurred of the kind. Whether it would turn out that the adulteration had been made with deleterious artielei or net, would not be material; he understood, however, that the mode of doctoring the Cape wine into something like fine old Sherry, Madeira, Port, and Champagne wines, was by mixing with a quantity of Cape wine bitter almonds, 411,. of oyster shell powder, and three quarts of other almonds, for giving flavour, and if this case was made out to the satisfaction of the Jury, the Learned Attorney hoped it would be marked with :a penalty equivalent to the disgrace attending such an adulteration, and that world secure both the Crown and the public against the repetition of au act so pernicious. Joseph Major was keeper of the Excise entries. He produced the entries of Frederick Oldfield, which commenced in the month of April, 1822. Witness had furnished the defendant with two blue books, in which to enter the wines sold and sent out from . his stock; one for quantities. of three gallons, and the other for large quantities. The quantities upwards required peimits, On being sent out, but the small quantities did not, indent when going into a trader's stock. Cross-examined.--Never knew any thing further of these books, they were bound to be returned to the Excise Office by law. Did not know when defendant went to gaol. James Snitch, a - Surveyor•General of the Excise.—ne duty on wines was paid on being imported. There were surveys made after wines went into the trader's hands. A lesser quantity than three gallons did not require a *mit. The books last witness men- . tioned required to lie be - verified by a declaration that they contained a true statement of the wines. Two permits had been granted to the defendant, one of the 20th June, 1823, and an entry made fur 110 gallons of Cape white wine; these 110. gallons were to be taken • front hi. Oldfield, to J. Oldfield, in Norton street,—the other permit was for. .288 galls. to Frederick Buck ton, on the 27th June, 1823. • John Coates, a permit writer, proved the delivery of the per. mit of the 20th of June, which had never been returned, as by law It ought to have been if the trade had not used it. Frederick Farrence, another permit writer, proved the granting of the permit in los,. which had never be4ni returned. William Buckton, anti-attrition manufacturer, deposed, that on different occasions he purchased some small quantities of Cape wine from the defendant, but that he bought none on the 27th • of „Nue,- •isats, whatever. •J. Trika'wee a winis•merehant. in 1 • and .1823, in South anipton-row ; knew the defendant ; in those years defendant lived in Berry -street and Norton-street, ; he belonged to some play houses, or gambling-houses, or - something of that kind. IVitness used to send. wine to the gatubling4muses of defendant. Had known the defenthint for many years; never sold him any Cape, always Sherry and Madeira. About the end of the year 1821, defendant said to witness that he had a mind to go into the wine trade, as the gambling-trade was then pretty well over. At the request..ol the defendant, witness joined him in the concern, and it was called the Westminster Wine Company ; the business was to be curried on at No. hi or hi, Pall-mall. Defendant bought the wines, and he supplied the money to this concern; Port, Sherry, Cape, Lis bon, Mountain, and other sorts, were sent iota the concern. Re collected 14 pipes of Cape being brought in at once. The de— fendant alone was the Westminster Wine Company. This large quantity of Cape was for • mixing with other wines; the defendant bought a large vat (to hold about 750 gallons), in which to mix wines ; remembered the mixing of wines is his presence ; 'as near as be could say, the first time was in December, 1822. In June,. 1823, the mixing., again took place. The misiug. was by wines, some Cape and some others put into the vat ; could not say the proportions, but thought it was in proportion of u pipe of Cape to a hogshead of Sherry. The Cape was first put into the lees of the Sherry, and then drawn off into the vat into which the Sherry had been previously put... Mr. Jxavts objected to the question,---what other articles were put into the vat? Mr. ATEORNEY-OENIR AT. submitted that he was entitled to put the question.' - Mr. l3►kON GAaaow would caution the Jury against finding a penalty against the defendant for putting any thing pernicious to the health into*, wines, as that was not the present charge, but it might he important for the Attorney-General to put the question with some other view, and if the Crown pressed it, the Court would have to allow it. ' The examination of witnesses was resumed. There was oyster shell powder, bitter almond flavour, extracted by distillation, and chalk-powder, put into the mixture. Witness produced else bills of parcels for the above articled, which he himself had bought and got from a druggist. A great many small quantities of wines were sent out without being entered in the sma ll book ; by this means sherry could be sent out, -under a permit, instead of Cape, without the exeise-offieers being able to detect the fraud.— no large quantity of wine had been sent out on the 27th of June, ISM agreeable to the permit of that day. The mixtures were made with the knowledge of the defendant. Witness used to go to Oldfield (who was then a prisoner in the King's Bench) to con verse with him about the mixtures that were to be made. Wit ness reported to bins what was going on. Defendant was at home when the vat was brought to Pall-Mall. lie went to prison in February, 1822. There had been mixtures before he went to prison. The cube was going on when we left the Court. ROLLS COURT.—(This PAY.) His Howoit nut having got through the immense number of petitions intended for hearing yesterday, resumed the hearing of petitions this morning. , SAMUILLS V. SAMUF.I.S. Mr. llouttr (with whom was Mr. "Pemberton) stated, that this wus a petition presented by Caroline Samuels, an infant, and Philip Samueli, the infant's father, praying the Court to order that a, sum of .‘)0/. per annum should be paid out of the produce of a fund in Court to the said Philip Samuels,. for the education and maintenance of the said Caroline Samuels. It appeared that the petitioner (P. Samuels) married Miss Julia Goldschmidt in Ism and that the infant, Caroline Samuels, was the imme of that marriage. Mr. Miler Goldsehmidt, the father of Alm P. Samuels, died subsequent to her marriage, and by his will left a auto of 25,000/.• to his daughter during her life, and iu case of her death 7,0 / 00/. should go to her husband, Mr. P. :Sam ue l s , f or his sole benefit, and that the remaining sum of 18,000/. should go to an y child or children left by his daughter. Mrs. Samuels died some y owl after the death of her father, and left only one child (the petitioner Caroline Samuels.) Mr. P. Samuel, had now en tered into a second marriage, and applied to the Court to alloW hint some portion of the produce of his daughter's, large fiwtune for bar support and maintenance. Mr. Samuels applied to the executors under Mr. Asher Goldschrnidt'a will, to a ll ow him the Antall sum of 1501. towards his daughter's education, but the axe cutOrs refused to make any allowance, and Mr. Samuele, who hail other elaiMs upon him, was bUrthened with the support of this child, who was so amply provided for by her grandfather!" will. Mr. Suoutri appeared to oppose the prayer of the peti tion. lie said that it was true Mr. P. Samuels was mar ried wig ; but he had married a wormai of large fortune, and was necessarily obliged to keep an 'establishment. der the testator's will Mr. Samuels already enjoyed the pro duce of 7,0004 When the child was only ten' years old, Mr. Samuels applied to the executors, and stated that the education and maintenance of the girl would coat MO/. per annum. In this account 2001. was charged for a governess, and her main tenance ; 80/. per annum was charged for Miss Samuels' clothes; and 601. per annum for her washing. The Court must see that the father intended the girl should wear a great many white frocks, lbr he charged nearly as much for her washing as for her clothe..—(A laugh.)—The fact was, Mr. Samuels only wanted to mike out an account, and he certainly was hard driven when lie inserted such an item. The discretion was unquestionably given to the executors, to advance any thing or nothing, for the girl's maintenance, and they refused to make any allow ance, because Mr. Samuels bad pertinaciously refused to allow the executors to have any intercourse with the infant. His (Mr. Sugilen's) advice to his clients was, not to allow a penny whilst they were debarred from that kind of limited intercourse with the child which would enable them to judge whether her education was properly conducted. The executors of the will were the uncles of the infant; and it was directly against the intention of the testator that the horid was brought into Court, for he. had such a horror of Equity Courts, that he ordered in his will that any legatee who filed a bill should forfeit his legacy. In conclu sion, the Learned Counsel submitted, that the petition should be dismissed with costs. Mr. Holism having replied, His Noun said, he did not think there was sufficient grounds for the interposition of the Court. A per sonal discretion was clearly given by the will to the azimuthal, and it was not for the Court to say that they had improperly ex ercised that discretion ; for it appeared that Mr. Samuels alrendy received a considerable sum out of the testator's property ; and, also, that he was in that condition of life that the support and education of his daughter ,could not prove burtheuso►Me to him. Under all the circumstances, in his opinion, there was no reason for the interference of the Conn. The petition must, therefore, he dismissed; but to prevent an increase of that irritation which evidently existed between the parties, he should decree the costs to be paid out of the funds in Court.
